Meta Quest 2: Power light turns on, but no audio or display

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:35:22 -0700

I have a Meta Quest 2 that suddenly stopped working during use. I looked it over, and there was a decent amount of sweat on the device which I suspect was the reason it died due to no other physical damage and not having been dropped, etc.

After wiping it down and drying it off as much as possible, I tried turning it on again by pressing the power button. The power light turns on, and after some time the front of the headset gets warm. However, nothing shows on the display, it remains black the entire time and no audio can be heard.

I have disassembled the device down to the midframe and didn't see anything concerning on the mainboard or any connectors. There was a bit of corrosion on some copper tape stuck on the backside of the display assembly on the top.

I'm wondering whether the problem is likely with the motherboard or the display assembly and how I could test it without another set of parts to verify. There are some relatively cheap display assemblies available on eBay but it would be nice to know for certain before buying anything.

Meta Quest 2: Why is my headset showing a cooling fan issue notification?

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:09:21 -0700

I followed the steps above, including rebooting and performing a factory reset, but I still encounter the notification:

"SYSTEM ALERT
The cooling fan on your device is not functioning properly. Your headset may become warm or behave abnormally.
Please try rebooting. If the issue persists, contact customer support: https://meta.com/help/support/"

I tested the device and the fan is still working, but the headset only lasts 20 minutes before turning off. I would appreciate any support, as I am considering repairing the mainboard, though I don't have experience with this product.

So I got this thing on Christmas 2023 and just yesterday I was playing Gorilla tag (Really fun by the way) then I did something and when I came back, It wasn't charging like I plugged it in earlier. It turned on, but it had restarted. And then, the screen was frozen and my controllers wouldn't show up on screen.

Meta Quest 3: XR2 device CPU delayering

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 09:11:27 -0700

Hey iFixit! I recently became part of a community that's trying to make hardware modification and custom software stack for Standalone XR Devices and I was wondering if it would be possible for iFixit to perform delayering of the XR2 chips including showing the location of the eFuses as that might enable communities alike to extend the usefulness of the devices. I would be very thankful for your answers.

When I turn on my Meta Quest 3 games, the Meta logo appears, but after loading, the interface doesn't appear and everything remains black. The music plays, but the screen remains completely dark.

I've tried a factory reset; the menu appears and the colors remain the same, but when it comes to the interface where everything is visible, it doesn't work.

My Meta Quest 3 games don't show the interface.
